An invitation to Art Therapy

I am a trainee Art Psychotherapist, currently studying an MSc in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Originally from England, my educational background is in Fine Art, taking my degree at Chelsea College of Art, London, UAL. Through my Art education and research, I discovered the power of Art through exhibitions and integrating into creative communities, realising that the context of Art and its influence in society is of high importance to me. I have previously worked with vulnerable people through the National Autistic Society in a supported living service, and here I decided the need for these two worlds to emerge, using creativity as a means to improve well being and find new ways to communicate.
